Product rationalization retired 18 products over two years, with 24-36 months for client transitions; further retirements and potential divestitures remain under consideration.
Platform and product expansion
The cloud-native, API-first platform integrates with foundational cores for modular modernization without a large core conversion; its three-year roadmap was completed on time and under budget.
Platform modules include general ledger, ACH, domestic and international wires, exception processing, deposit accounts, and tokenized deposits with USDC support; modules integrate with existing cores.
The platform runs active-active across two GCP regions and serves 1,030 financial institutions and 16M users; Banno is expanding from retail into business and treasury functionality.
Tap2Local completed rollout in May 2026; ~900 Banno clients are live and ~1,000 have access. Additions include invoicing, payouts, product catalog, and small-business remote deposit capture.
Expense management and virtual card issuance are near development-complete; fraud-focused P2P payments with Moov, Visa, and Mastercard are slated for initial launch at Connect, with a business version planned for 2027.
